Robert,

I disagree. My personal experience is that you need the highest quality SDRAM
to operate at higher bus speeds. 12ns SDRAM will probably not work on a
100MHz bus.


That is why I qualified the memory manufacturers like Korea. Because they are dumping and also their quality control is probably being sacrificed.

100mhz boards were tested already with -12 and worked fine... but remember Larry's question was 100MHZ memory and that will definiterly work fine in the 440BX chipset.

A side note, Micron is known to design to better specs, and their 60 nanosecond memory easily operates down to 50 nanoseconds with no problems. I have tested many brands of Memory and found Micron to be the most reliable and to run at higher bus speeds. Korean memory is garbage, even at the 66MHZ speeds.

So it really depends on the manufacturer and the specs that they design to.

Robert,

FYI:

I have a PENTIUM 200MMX system that is running on the 83MHZ bus yielding a processor speed of 250MHZ. I have 128 MBytes of Micron EDO memory rated at 60 nanoseconds. It runs absolutely great. The system is actually performing better than a 266mhz processor.
